Beury hall renovations ribbon cutting ceremony
After five years and almost $25 million, the renovations of Beury Hall are complete! The Departments of Chemistry and Earth and Environmental Science (EES) hosted a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on March 5, 2009 in celebration of the milestone.
President Ann Weaver Hart and Dean Hai-Lung Dai cut the ribbon following opening remarks from Dean Dai, Chemistry Chair Robert Levis, EES Chair David Grandstaff and President Hart. CST alumni, friends, faculty and students then enjoyed light refreshments and self-guided tours of the refurbished building.
The project included complete renovations of the infrastructure of the building, installing wireless technology in classrooms and lecture halls, and new, cutting-edge facilities for research. Distinctive features include specialized instructional classrooms for physical geology students and a semi-smart microscope projection system in the EES labs. The renovations transformed about 107,250 of the 174,700 square foot building, which hosts approximately 3,000 students in class every day. Temple News Communications story
